i know there's been a big debate within the pentagon. we hear about it. we're aware of it. we're going to move in the direction of making sure that america still is number one in the world in defense, and the defense sequester, which i expect congressman ryan was referring to, is something that many of us are looking at as something that could put us in a position to no longer be number one. >> okay. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >>> congressman paul ryan says his budget plan will bring down the nation's debt, but it also could give democrats ammunition in the fall. >> he sold it to all of his republican colleagues by telling them there's a new way to talk about what they're going to do without getting hurt politically. the american people, though, especially us, where we are in our lives, we're not about to be fooled. i think -- i have more faith in the american people than i think our republican colleagues do. see life in the best light.
